Brief

DomainShuttle is a subject-driven text-to-video generation method that balances in-domain fidelity and cross-domain editability. It uses Domain-MoT with domain-aware AdaLN to model domain-specific reference information, a Video-Reference DualRoPE to spatially align reference and video tokens separately, and a Cross-Pair Consistent Loss to preserve intrinsic subject features. The arXiv (2026-06-24) paper reports significant improvements in both fidelity and generative flexibility.

Why it matters

DomainShuttle (Nan Chen et al., arXiv 2026-06-24) proposes a unified approach for open-domain subject-driven text-to-video (S2V) generation that targets both in-domain subject fidelity and cross-domain editability.

Key details

  • Key technical contributions: Domain-MoT with domain-aware AdaLN to decouple video and reference features; Video-Reference DualRoPE placing reference-image tokens and video tokens in separate RoPE spaces; and a Cross-Pair Consistent Loss to extract intrinsic subject features.
  • The arXiv paper (19 pages, 9 figures) reports significant performance improvements over existing methods, demonstrating higher subject fidelity and greater generative flexibility across diverse open-domain scenarios (no quantitative metrics provided in the abstract).

Abstract

Open domain subject-driven text-to-video (S2V) generation has drawn significant interest in academia and industry. Open domain S2V mainly involves two scenarios: in-domain, which requires retaining the reference subject features as much as possible, and cross-domain, which preserves the intrinsic features of the subject while allowing subject-irrelevant properties to vary flexibly according to the text prompt. Existing methods primarily focus on maximizing subject fidelity in in-domain scenarios, which limits their editability and adaptability in cross-domain scenarios, such as novel styles, semantic combinations, or domain attributes. In this study, we propose that an ideal S2V method should flexibly shuttle between different domains, achieving strong performance in both in-domain and cross-domain scenarios. To this end, we propose DomainShuttle, which could achieve high fidelity and generative flexibility for open domain video personalization. Specifically, we introduce Domain-MoT, which decouples videos and reference features and introduces the domain-aware AdaLN for domain-specific modeling of reference images. We then introduce the Video-Reference DualRoPE scheme, which places reference image tokens and video tokens in separate RoPE spaces to enable precise subject-level spatial modeling, and Cross-Pair Consistent Loss, which aims to extract intrinsic subject features unaffected by irrelevant features. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DomainShuttle achieves significant performance improvements over existing methods, exhibiting high subject fidelity and generative flexibility across diverse open domain application scenarios.
